John Thaw in the movies.
I had heard about this series from the wgbn-newsletter, I rented it from NetFlix and before the first episode was over, I had been online to AOL to order my own copy. I may collect all things John Thaw. It would have been a privledge to meet and talk with him. We will ...

George and the Dragon [Region 2]

James Purefoy, Piper Perabo

Amazing Movie Despite A Few Weaknesses
I will admit, this movie has a few weaknesses, but those should not stand in the way of the strengths. "George and the Dragon," which also appeared on the Sci-Fi channel under the title "Dragon Sword," REALLY reminded me of the dragon stories I used to read and ...

Wagner - Parsifal / Levine, Weikl, Mazura, Metropolitan Opera

Bernd Weikl, Jan-Hendrik Rootering

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

A tremendous experience
Levine's 1993 Met performance and Horst Stein's 1981 audience-free Bayreuth production are the only traditional "Parsifals" on DVD, so a comparison seems in order. The Bayreuth "Parsifal" has very fine singing but is marred by less than involved acting and occasional ...

The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse - Criterion Collection

Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Otto Wernicke

Criterion, 2004

Another Lang masterwork!
The more I see of Fritz Lang's films, the more and more he grows in esteem for me. This film is no exception. While a sequel to the two-part 1922 film 'Dr. Mabuse: Der Spieler,' it could also be fully enjoyed and understood by one who has never seen the prior film ...

Stooges: The Men Behind The Mayhem

Moe Howard, Larry Fine

Mackinac Media, 2005

Top Notch Addition to any Stooge Collection
I was impressed with the quality in this DVD presentation. This documentary succeeds in many ways and preserves for all time some integral interviews of those who knew the Stooges. Some of the rare photography (including much from the Larry Fine family) was amazing, ...
